The Bridling[1] is the fifth epoch of the Vaasi Timeline, following the Saddling and preceding the Bucking. This era saw the rise of the Church of the Lawgiver as state religion of Prince Gorkyn Vistin established it as the state religion of Nyvalg Vaasa. Previously existing as a marginalized faith in old Tygaam, Prince Gorkyn Vistin devotedly enforced its dominance and pogroms against believers of other faiths. He halted the Cycle of Stewards and then persuaded Church leaders through "monetary incentive" to back him. He also waged the Wars of Conversion upon nearby lands. Although Prince Gorkin's wars only hurt Nyvald Vaasa through draining its coffers, he did leave a large cultural legacy for Nyvald Vaasa.
Though long after Gorkin's demise, the Bridling ended with rebellion that ushered in the Bucking.
